On a side note, isn’t it interesting to see the teams forming up? It’s traditionalists, patriots and Old Left (Marxist-Leninist) versus libertarian-libertine, postmodern, crypto-Trotskyite globalism. It’s order versus chaos, patriarchy versus SJWs, MAGA versus permanent revolution, the West versus the post-West.

When I say “the West”, I mean that part of Christendom and its Enlightenment. Russia seems to have premodernism, modernism taken to its extreme but nowhere nearly enough postmodernism to be caught in our civilizational death spiral.

Note: In the time I took to write this comment, I see that, in another tab in my browser, Louise Mensch has made 25 new tweets. White women be crazy!!!

Are those tweets satire or do liberals like that C Hayden guy really believe the alt-right is controlled by Russia???
But have to say, looks bad in a way…seems like the US might really be in for a period of serious civil strife (though I guess things will be worse in Europe in some ways).

I tend to think that major civil strife in the US, and to a lesser extent in Europe, is the best chance we have at avoiding major global military conflicts. In that sense, we should welcome it, perhaps encourage it even.

I'm afraid not. I just had a look at the Twitter account of that Andrew Laufer guy (civil rights attorney, against police brutality, pro-Israel...lol, you can't make this stuff up)...he really seems to be that deluded.
Disturbing how hysterically anti-Russia US mainstream liberals have become just because they lost an election.

Wouldn’t it be cool if Russified versions of Latinate words permanently entered Western languages, imparting common terms a “based” flavor? Like, if an inauguration featured a military parade, or was simply held for a populist leader, it would be called inauguratsiya. Hate facts could be called informatsiya, street protests against stupid wars could be called demonstratsiyas, etc.

Blogroll

This is not so much meant to be comprehensive as to illustrate the themes and individual thinkers whom I follow and am inspired by.

I do not bother including any MSM outlets, since I’m sure they can do just fine without my publicity.

Blogs which I consider to be particularly good and/or prominent are highlighted in bold, and blogs that appear to have gone dormant appear at the end in italics. While I try to keep these things objective, if you include me in your blogroll that does vastly increase the chances that I’ll reciprocate.
